The primary objective of the study is to assess the diagnostic efficacy (specificity and sensitivity) of flurpiridaz F18 injection PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) compared to single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) MPI in the detection of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) as defined by invasive coronary angiography (ICA) or a documented history of Myocardial Infarction (MI).

A Phase 3, Open Label, Multicenter Study for the Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion Using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging of Flurpiridaz F18 Injection in Patients With Suspected or Known Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

Open-label study of a single dose of Flurpiridaz F18 injection for PET MPI compared to a single dose of 99mTc sestamibi or tetrofosmin for SPECT MPI in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease referred for coronary catheterization

Injection of 99mTc sestamibi or tetrofosmin for the purposes of SPECT MPI analysis

Other Name: 99mTc sestamibi or 99mTc Tetrofosmin

Detailed Description:

The study will assess the diagnostic efficacy (sensitivity and specificity) of Flurpiridaz F18 Injection MPI against SPECT MPI in patients screened for CAD as determined by ICA. Six hundred and eighty evaluable patients will be enrolled and will undergo SPECT MPI and Flurpiridaz F18 PET MPI. Patients will be considered for enrollment if they are scheduled to undergo or have undergone prior ICA without intervention (being either positive or negative for CAD).
